Crimewatch happenings

Other towns don't have a problem because they send their scum here. And why not? Brockton has open arms and provisions for more and more all the time, then they complain. Years ago you had to be a proven resident for a certain amount of time in order to receive help. God helps them who help themselves. Make these people do charity work or something and I'll guarantee half of them will fade away.
Ask half of the women what their occupation is and they'd be able to say "baby maker"

Whenever they sweep the city and bust for drugs, there is a common thread among most of those arrested. I am not generalizing; this is a fact. I was not raised to blast another person with a gun. I learned to respect and help others and avoid illegal substances because they are, uhmmm, dangerous. We can add hundreds of officers but, at the risk of offending those who are too busy shooting each other to read my rant, a lot of this is cultural. Say what you want, but I see people who are lazy, unruly, and disrespectful. The mentality that just because you move to this country you are entitled to a golden standard of living needs to be replaced with the notion that hard work and kindness to others will elevate you a lot higher than drugs and crime. A false sense of entitlement fuels the gunfire. Benefits, welfare, food stamps, all must come with strings attached. We need a system that forces people to work. It is hard to sympathize with those who justify bad behavior by placing blame on someone else. Most of our ancestors had nothing when they arrived on US soil. They worked hard to establish a new life in a strange country and to educate their children. I am tired of excuses. I say, “Pull up those damn pants, speak English, and be grateful you are in a country that affords you the freedom to do stupid things.”

Brockton Police shot and killed a man early Thursday morning during an incident outside 50 Thayer St., city officials confirmed.

Bob Buckley, Mayor Bill Carpenter’s chief of staff, confirmed this morning that a man was shot and killed by police. The incident happened at the side of a house at 50 Thayer St., where bullet holes in the building indicate several shots were fired. Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz's office confirmed this morning that State Police are investigating.

In a press release, the DA's office said police responded to the scene after a woman entered the Brockton police station about 12:30 a.m. and said Buckley was at the Thayer Street address and threatening to burn the home down. The woman, later said to be the victim's wife, Barbara Buckley, 42, also told police other people were in the home, and that Buckley had been drinking, the release said.

Brockton Police were sent to the address and discovered Buckley outside the home holding a police scanner connected to an ear piece, and what appeared to be a rifle, according to the DA's release.

Investigators were on Green Street late Sunday morning after a shooting during a house party there hours earlier left one man dead and two others injured.

The COB should get more agressive with these absentee landlords especially in that section of Green, Warren and Florence. It's known hot spots. Get the code enforcement down there every day. I am sure there's a myriad of infractions.

Violence erupted at 4:30 a.m. Sunday during an illegal after-hours party where admission was being charged for entry at 66 Green St. Dozens of people attended the party, Cruz said.
Witnesses told police that "a large-scale brawl broke out and spilled outside onto the street," Cruz said.
Brockton police responded to the multi-family house on Green Street after receiving several 911 calls for shots fired about 4:30 a.m. Sunday. No arrests had been made by Monday morning.

The property at 66 Green St. did have video cameras installed but they were NOT OPERATIONAL in the areas where the shootings and stabbing took place, Cruz said.

BROCKTON - An 89-year-old woman was hogtied in her Brockton house and had her jewelry stolen during a home invasion Tuesday afternoon.
The woman, who lives on Pleasant Street on the city's west side, answered a knock at the door around noon Tuesday, Brockton Police Lt. Kenneth LeGrice said.

Shall we keep letting in the human garbage from third world hell holes and let them practice the bad habits that they bring with them? Give them endless support and financial benefits? These creatures should be treated like the human cockroaches that they are. Or, maybe, ship them to Sharon or Easton.....

This Green Street property has been a hell hole for years. NOW we're going to take a look? Slap this property's landowner every infraction, no matter minor.

City officials are going to be taking a "hard look" at the use of 66 Green St. in Brockton where a party turned into a deadly brawl Sunday night.

Officials said the after-hours party on Sunday was illegal because people were being charged admission to enter and that no permits had been taken out. We're taking a hard look at that now," Brockton Mayor Bill Carpenter said. "The legal use of the building and the current use are both under active investigation."

The building, which looks like a multi-family house, is actually a four-unit office building attached to a larger office building at 71 Legion Parkway. The Green Street building has never been listed as a residential property, said Jill Picanzi, head administrative clerk for the Brockton Assessor’s office.

A neighbor described the building being used as a "club" with bouncers where people were charged $15 per person to enter. The parties were often held into the early morning hours on weekends and fights often broke out.

Nine shell casings were found in the road at the corner of Warren Avenue and Harvard Street in Brockton Tuesday night.

Police received multiple 911 calls about several gunshots at 10:48 p.m.
When police arrived, a witness told them that a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt had been sitting in a white Nissan outside 473 Warren Avenue when the man got out of the car and walked to the corner and fired several shots, Brockton Police Lt. Kenneth LeGrice said.
